Remove our use of 'gperf' for generating perfect hashes from some of our
build tools.
This removal was prompted by Masahiro Yamada sending out a patch that
removes all our pre-generated files, and when I tested it, I noticed
that the gperf version I have (3.1) apparently generates code that no
longer works with out code-base because the function interfaces
generated by gperf have changed.
We really don't care that much, and the gperf people changed their
interfaces in ways that makes it annoying to work with them. Tools that
make it hard to use them should not be used, and the kernel is not at
all interested in some autoconf mess. So remove the gperf dependency
entirely.
It turns out that if you ignore the pre-generated files, the use of
gperf apparently saved us a whopping fifteen lines of code. It
obviously wasn't worth it, considering that the pre-generated files are
about 500 lines.
I sent this out as a patch about three weeks ago, and got absolutely
zero responses. So let's see if anybody notices now that I merge it.
Because there might be serious bugs here, but it WorksForMe(tm).
* gperf-removal:
Remove gperf usage from toolchain
that are entirely function pointers (along with a couple designated
initializer fixes).
- For the structleak plugin, provide an option to perform zeroing
initialization of all otherwise uninitialized stack variables that are
passed by reference (Ard Biesheuvel).

Pull x86 asm updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.
The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
(out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
with early versions. (knock on wood!)
But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
measurably:
With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
.text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.
The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.
Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
- but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
it the default unwinder on x86.
See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.

uint64_t may be either 'unsigned long' or 'unsigned long long' depending

Fix this by using %llx and casting to unsigned long long, which ensures

Reported by Johannes Berg [1]. Problem here: function
process_proto_type() concatenates the striped lines of declaration
without any whitespace. A one-liner of::
struct something {
struct foo
bar;
};
has to be::
struct something {struct foo bar;};
Without the patching process_proto_type(), the result missed the space
between 'foo' and 'bar'::
struct something {struct foobar;};
Bugfix of process_proto_type() brings next error when blank lines
between enum declaration::
warning: Enum value ' ' not described in enum 'foo'
Problem here: dump_enum() does not strip leading whitespaces from
the concatenated string (with the new additional space from
process_proto_type).

RHEL 7.x and clone distros are shipped with Sphinx 1.1.x,
with is incompatible with Kernel ReST markups.
So, on those systems, the only alternative is to install
it via a Python virtual environment.
While seeking for "pip" on CentOS 7.3, I noticed that it
is not really needed, as python-virtualenv has its version
packaged there already. So, remove this from the list of
requirements for all distributions.
With regards to PDF, we need at least texlive-tabulary
extension, but that is not shipped there (at least on
CentOS). So, disable PDF packages as a whole.
Please notice, however, that texlive + amsmath is needed for
ReST to properly handle ReST ".. math::" tags. Yet, Sphinx
fall back to display the LaTeX math expressions as-is, if
such extension is not available.
So, let's just disable all texlive packages as a whole.

In the Linux kernel, struct type variables are rarely passed by-value,
and so functions that initialize such variables typically take an input
reference to the variable rather than returning a value that can
subsequently be used in an assignment.
If the initalization function is not part of the same compilation unit,
the lack of an assignment operation defeats any analysis the compiler
can perform as to whether the variable may be used before having been
initialized. This means we may end up passing on such variables
uninitialized, resulting in potential information leaks.
So extend the existing structleak GCC plugin so it will [optionally]
apply to all struct type variables that have their address taken at any
point, rather than only to variables of struct types that have a __user
annotation.

Add the new ORC unwinder which is enabled by CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
It plugs into the existing x86 unwinder framework.
It relies on objtool to generate the needed .orc_unwind and
.orc_unwind_ip sections.
For more details on why ORC is used instead of DWARF, see
Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt - but the short version is
that it's a simplified, fundamentally more robust debugninfo
data structure, which also allows up to two orders of magnitude
faster lookups than the DWARF unwinder - which matters to
profiling workloads like perf.
Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the performance improvement ideas:
splitting the ORC unwind table into two parallel arrays and creating a
fast lookup table to search a subset of the unwind table.

Objtool tries to silence 'unreachable instruction' warnings when it
detects gcov is enabled, because gcov produces a lot of unreachable
instructions and they don't really matter.
However, the 0-day bot is still reporting some unreachable instruction
warnings with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y on GCC 4.6.4.
As it turns out, objtool's gcov detection doesn't work with older
versions of GCC because they don't create a bunch of symbols with the
'gcov.' prefix like newer versions of GCC do.
Move the gcov check out of objtool and instead just create a new
'--no-unreachable' flag which can be passed in by the kernel Makefile
when CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is defined.
Also rename the 'nofp' variable to 'no_fp' for consistency with the new
'no_unreachable' variable.

This adds a perl script to actually parse the MAINTAINERS file, clean up
some whitespace in it, warn about errors in it, and then properly sort
the end result.
My perl-fu is atrocious, so the script has basically been created by
randomly putting various characters in a pile, mixing them around, and
then looking it the end result does anything interesting when used as a
perl script.

Add support for detecting and installing missing packages
on Mageia. I opted to use "urpmi" at the install instructions,
as this is present on Mageia since ever. Yet, if I were using
Mageia 6, I would likely be using "dnf", as it is, IMHO,
easier to use.

Use errors=replace because it is never desirable for lx-dmesg to fail on
string decoding errors, not even if the log buffer is corrupt and we
show incorrect info.
The kernel will sometimes print utf8, for example the copyright symbol
from jffs2. In order to make this work specify 'utf8' everywhere
because python2 otherwise defaults to 'ascii'.
In theory the second errors='replace' is not be required because
everything that can be decoded as utf8 should also be encodable back to
utf8. But it's better to be extra safe here. It's worth noting that
this is definitely not true for encoding='ascii', unknown characters are
replaced with U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER and they fail to encode back
to ascii.

In some cases it is possible for the str() conversion here to throw
encoding errors because log_buf might not point to valid ascii. For
example:
(gdb) python print str(gdb.parse_and_eval("log_buf"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u0303' in
position 24: ordinal not in range(128)
Avoid this by explicitly casting to (void *) inside the gdb expression.

lx-fdtdump dumps the flattened device tree passed to the kernel from the
bootloader to the filename specified as the command argument. If no
argument is provided it defaults to fdtdump.dtb. This then allows
further post processing on the machine running GDB. The fdt header is
also also printed in the GDB console. For example:
(gdb) lx-fdtdump
fdt_magic: 0xD00DFEED
fdt_totalsize: 0xC108
off_dt_struct: 0x38
off_dt_strings: 0x3804
off_mem_rsvmap: 0x28
version: 17
last_comp_version: 16
Dumped fdt to fdtdump.dtb
>fdtdump fdtdump.dtb | less
This command is useful as the bootloader can often re-write parts of the
device tree, and this can sometimes cause the kernel to not boot.

The boolean --color argument did not offer the ability to force
colourized output even if stdout is not a terminal. Change the format
of the argument to the familiar --color[=WHEN] construct as seen in
common Linux utilities such as git, ls and dmesg, which allows the user
to specify whether to colourize output "always", "never", or "auto" when
the output is a terminal. The default is "auto".
The old command-line uses of --color and --no-color are unchanged.
